Jesus on His Own Terms | John 12:12-29 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

John places the Lazarus miracle at the heart of his gospel 📖. The Pharisees fear losing power and plot to kill both Jesus and Lazarus 🤔. Jesus enters Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, hailed as a king 🌿👑. He disrupts those who cling to power and disappoints those who crave it 🙌. Inviting Jesus into our lives brings disruption, but it’s a good disruption 🙌. The way of Jesus differs from our expectations 🤔. Jewish leaders sought to destroy Jesus, but he disrupts those who clutch power 💥. He invites us to willingly come to him, offering grace and mercy ❤️. If we reject this Jesus, we face a terrifying image of him in Revelation 19 🦁. Jesus always comes on his own terms, whether in humility or in power ⚔️.
